Hi there Great gifts or what? There’s nothing like a handmade gift. And small is good too. Something that firstly doesn’t take yonks to make, and secondly doesn’t intrude. You know what I mean. I think most of us crafters love to make for friends and family, but many of us also worry that our work might not be to the other person’s liking. I really get it. My guess is that’s why we make cards and not wall hangings!…
Hi there Remember when we drew our Nutcracker poster in the SHAC? Seems like an age ago!

Sleep well x Love and clarity, Barb x x…
Hi there. Yep. Thirty days to Christmas. This time next month it will be Christmas Day. Running this 100 Days to Christmas blog has actually been a real eye opener on just how quickly time flies. Which makes me think hard about what we do with our precious time, friends. I mean, how much of my precious time do I waste? Literally waste. It’s a funny old game, LIFE, isn’t it? Still beats the alternative though! I guess work hard…
31 days to Christmas?!? You’re joking! Where is the time going?? All I keep saying is, “Well, I’ve ordered the turkey!”. As if that is an indicator that I’ve got things under control. Ha Ha Ha. And so to my old mantra, ONE DAY AT A TIME. As soon as I say that to myself, I immediately feel relief. Believe me when I say that any anxiety I may be experiencing has nothing to do with Christmas. I really am…
Hi there With Christmas around the corner, let’s enjoy a selection of wonderful 3-D angels and Christmas cards, created by our ever clever Art Team… Beautiful aren’t they? All made with this ingenious Groovi plate, designed by Linda WIlliams. Of course, you can use the same plate to create cards too… So so pretty, aren’t they? Angels is certainly shaping up to be our Clarity Christmas theme this year. Those Hope Peace and Love Angels have been flying out to…
Hi there There’s a little robin redbreast in our garden. He follows you everywhere! If I sit on the bench and have a cuppa – there he is an arm’s length away on the arm rest. If Dave chops wood, there he is again, perched on a log right there. When I load things into m car, he sits on the fence, watching me walk back and forth. I hear this a lot. Mum has a pet robin in her…
Hi there If you were at the Clarity Open Days and Workshops this weekend, you will have heard that dear Linda is finally hanging up her parchment hat, and retiring. Well, let me qualify that. Linda is still going to be designing beautiful Groovi plates for us, and has no intention of disappearing! She just decided that the Ditton Retreats, Workshops and Open Days are more than she can handle anymore. I totally get her. It’s Tuesday, and I still…
Hi there We were bowled over by your response to those fab gift boxes we made for the parchment angels. You obviously make small things and need a lovely little 4x4inch box. So we had a think, and decided to add some different coloured printed boxes to our growing gift-box selection… How about a FAB Festive Set – complete with matching ribbons – and wooden angel heads! We’ve also come up with very PRETTY Pastel colours too… All available HERE…
